It’s only a matter of time before I break down as well as purchase a pattern from the blue Gardenia. Sure, their patterns are a bit on the expensive side, however when you want something exquisite, such as this dress, as well as you want to be sure that all the pieces are there, you have to pay a bit extra. (Blue Gardenia counts all the pattern pieces as well as tells you if they’ve been altered.)
Check out this gown with the tucks sewed all around the skirt as well as on the bodice front. This is hours as well as hours of tricky, challenging sewing, not to mention that it would really, I think, have to be made in silk organza, which is expensive (the pattern alone is $45!). however — doesn’t it look worth it?
